At the beginning of January, we had started 2021 very well by presenting "Broken Love" by Brother Ryan.

I think at that time I didn't realize how much potential this Chicago project had. Yes, of course, I really believed in it. But today an EP is released which makes me think that we have to believe in it even stronger. Because the quality is amazing.

Sometimes I still wonder how people can listen to traditional radio stations, which give us the same commercial crap every hour. How can we get to this point, of not being curious enough to discover other equally talented artists? Oops. Even more talented.

Okay, I admit that I might be a bit biased myself because I listen to indie music 10 hours a day and I only turn on my radio once a week because my old car does not have a BlueTooth car radio. But the little I hear each time on the air does not reassure me.

In a time when everything goes very quickly, where you can stream without any limit, at the speed of light thanks to optical fiber or 5G, it still seems difficult to me to accept that we can miss artists like Brother Ryan. But the world is wild sometimes, and we have to be content.

This is why I am happy today to tell you about their new EP "Remnants" which is released today and which is from "Stranger". And it's a perfect transition from what I just said. Because the song evokes this feeling of the wildness of the world.

And brings us to lots of questions. How can we miss great things when we live on the same planet? "I don't know you like I wish I did" is a very punchy phrase, repeated at the end of each chorus.

The singer's voice sometimes reminds me of one of my favorite bands: the Irish guys from Kodaline. And "Stranger" has the same elements, in terms of emotional impact: an exceptional voice, beautiful writing, and divine production. This EP is like a breath of fresh air, in a world where it is difficult to breathe (especially these last 18 months).

Thanks, Brother Ryan for bringing better days to music. This is exactly how the music you hear on the radio every day should be: honest, genuine, sincere. And made with the heart.

Added to our Main Spotify Playlist, our "Feeling Lost" playlist, and played daily on Indie Music Center's Radio.

Lyrics

Isn’t it Crazy, we’re alive at the same time

Isn’t I Crazy, think of time and space

Sometimes I see your face, and I don’t know your story

Oh but I wish I did, Oh but I wish I did

Maybe I’m just goin mad

All these words I don’t understand

I try to find significance

I don’t know you like I wish I did

I don’t know you like I wish I did

Don’t tell me, love is the only thing

Don’t tell me, I am not alone

Cuz I’m standing here, lost inside your glory

Oh I’m losing hope, full bellied still alone

Maybe I’m just goin mad

All these words I don’t understand

I try to find significance

I don’t know you like I wish I did

I don’t know you like I wish I did
